Help me with what to wear to a blue and white wedding

[Anonymous]

Going away on business tomorrow will be back Thursday and have a wedding next Saturday so there’s no time for me to look for something to wear. I am torn between a long beard gown that I wore to my nephews wedding, which definitely is formal but not the most comfortable. I also have another dress, which to be honest, I would consider a little bit more of a day dress it’s blue and white floral silk very pretty it goes to my ankles, definitely not as dressy. My husband will be in a tux just for contacts which would you wear?

I guess I’m asking is the blue and white dress a little too casual for a black tie wedding?

People get what they get when they institute stupid color schemes for guests. Wear the comfortable one.

blue and white floral silk sounds very summery

I'd wear the beaded one if husband is in a tux. If it was comfortable enough for one wedding, it's comfortable enough for another.

thanks for the replies my inclination is to go with the beaded one though it’s not as comfortable. I don’t wanna have to sit there and second-guess myself the whole night so thank you for your input. I can suck it up for a few hours.😂👍

If DH is in tux definitely the beaded one.

I can’t stand to be uncomfortable. I would not have minded in my 20s but that ship sailed.

Wear what you're most comfortable in. I went to one color coded affair and the styles were all over the place. Clearly people were wearing what they already had or the only thing they could easily find to buy, and not what they would normally choose. I hate this trend.

This is ridiculous. Wear the more comfortable dress so you can have a good time.

I’d be tempted to just wear my own wedding gown. 🤣

People should stop dictating what guests can wear. It puts too much pressure on the guests.

Oh yeah. Throw a blue shawl around your shoulders and call it a day. I mean, you are following the ridiculous directions. 😂

+1 I've never been to a color coded wedding, but this seems needlessly difficult. It's hard enough to find a dress without these extra restrictions. I can imagine people just wearing whatever they have or anything at all in the right colors that's not too expensive, regardless of appropriateness. I'd be extra annoyed if it was a color that I don't like.

Lol this. Blue and white is a very odd choice for a black tie affair. It basically means that women either have to wear blue or they're wearing a formal white dress that competes with a bridal gown. What the heck do men wear? A white tux with a blue ruffled shirt?

It seems like the couple should choose between black tie or color coded. Black tie is just too difficult to also be tied into a specific color.
